Best salt I've usedBy Chrison 3/27/2015

I switched to Red Sea Coral Pro when I switched from a FOWLR to a mixed reef. I've had great results and don't plan to use anything else.

We have been using the Coral Pro Salt for almost a year now and are impressed with the results. It mixes easily and we do not have to add additional trace elements very often. We currently have aquariums in both of offices at our jobs and 2 more at home and appreciate the simplicity this product gives us.

Love it!!!By Chrison 2/13/2015

Chris would recommend this product to a friend

Switched to RedSea Coral Reef Pro after reading the excellent reviews and I am glad I did. My corals are flourishing and my water parameters are spot on. I'm running a 29 biocube reef & fish w/custom sump tank and have not had to dose kalk or 2 part yet with weekly 5% water changes.

When you mix it, it only clouds for about 1 minute before going crystal clear and ready to add to tank. Unlike the cheaper salt mixes that need several hours for mixing, Coral Pro is ready in minutes. Note, do not let it mix w/pump for any longer than an hour or it will precipitate.

Also, expect the plastic container (larger size of salt mix) to be broken upon delivery. It is placed in a box without foam and UPS handles it very delicately, lol! The inner plastic bag on mine was punctured, but BRS took care of the issues immediately.

Cant go wrong with this mix!

Best salt in my opinion By Ewan on 2/12/2015

I switched to this salt after years of using another brand, I couldn't get my mag to the correct levels and found out after testing newly mixed salt water that the level was still way too high. Red Sea has everything in check now.

Turns out its the same stuff as my LFSBy Chrison 2/10/2015

Chris would recommend this product to a friend

Went to my LFS and it turns out they use the same stuff. So far, everything has been very stable with this mix and all of my parameters have been dead on. It mixes well. The only thing that's confusing is that the measurements are by weight, so mixing can be a guessing game.

My sps tank has never looked better, ca mg and dkh levels are right where I want them as a mix. It mixes and dissolves very rapidly, and I have noticed no precipitates in the barrel. I am one of those guys that always has to have the best, and this is the best salt.

Stable ParametersBy Vinnyon 12/16/2014

Vinny would recommend this product to a friend

I'm new to saltwater(about 6 months in) and started with Instant Ocean salt mix. I constantly had to monitor/test my parameters and dose multiple elements. On top of that, I was getting terrible algae outbreaks.

My LFS recommended Red Sea Coral Pro Salt or Salinity Salt. I chose the Red Sea Coral Pro mix. I have a small tank(30 gal + 10 gal sump-about 6 gal of water in it) and perform 5 gal WCs every week(sometimes I will skimp and go 2 weeks before a WC). It took about 2 WCs before I REALLY noticed the results. All my parameters stabilized, the CYANO algae died/disappeared, GHA reduced. The only thing I have to dose now is magnesium and thats only if I go 2 weeks between WCs. I'm super satisfied with this salt mix. Unless something better comes along, this will be my lifetime salt mix.

Good Salt...Follow Mix InstructionsBy Danielon 12/12/2014

Daniel would recommend this product to a friend

I've had a few people vouch for this salt, so I made a purchase. The first thing I noticed was that the bucket was broken. Literally split in half. The only saving grace was that the salt was bagged in the bucket. I still would have preferred to keep the bucket that came with it, rather than use one of my own, but this is probably more of a shipping issue. I've been using it for a little over a month now, and everything in the tank is happy. One thing I've noticed, and have read, is that you need to follow the instructions closely. Mix for 1 hour or so, bring it up to temp and do your water change. Don't mix too long.

This is so far the best and my favorite salt. Awesome coral growth, really no need supplements.

Great stuff I was using another salt brand That took forever to mix and my tank was always having issues this stuff now I just finished my first 55 gallon buck and I have noticed corals splitting like crazy regrowth and lots of growth in exisit inc corals. I just bought two more buckets and will continue to use this product in all my future tanks. Well worth the money and I don't normally write reviews. That's how awesome this stuff is.

The only down fall was that when I opened my box the bucekt was broken on the bottom cutting into the bag of salt leaving salt everywhere in the box and the bucket (not happy). Being that I live in minnesota too the shipping was supurb overall! Other then that, this salt mix is GREAT! I'll recommend this to a friend but not the plastic bucket!

I ordered this and it arrived supper fast! One thing that caught my eye was that the bucket it came in cracked and cut into the bag of the salt as well. Leaving salt everywhere in the bucket and in shipping box. I live in minnesota myself hence the fast shipping but i wouldnt think that the bucket would break that easily. Is there something we can do here? Other then that this product is great! I would reccomend this to every user out there.

Doing it wrong for so long!By Adamon 11/18/2014

Adam would recommend this product to a friend

I have been using the wrong salt mix for years and didn't even know it. I always thought i was getting a good product at a great price but it turns out that it was just cheap crap!!! I obtained a small bucket (55gal) in a kit i bought from BRS and figured i'd give it a try. I was amazed at first on how fast and clear it dissolved in my mixing bucket which was the first indicator it was far superior then what i have been using. After a few water changes using Red Sea, there was a noticeable difference with the corals as well. Every thing just seemed happier with better colors and polyp extension I haven't seen using the other cheaper brand. Will never use the cheap stuff ever again!!!

Great saltBy Alberton 6/6/2014

The salt works really well. The values are as advertised and the salt mixes quickly. However, keep the saltwater agitated, in my experience, precipitates form if you allow the salt to sit too long undisturbed. I would definitely recommend this salt to anyone who is looking for a quality salt for their reef tank!

IM SEEING ALL THESE NEGATIVE POSTS ABOUT CLOUDY WATER!! WELL FIRST OFF THIS MIX CAN NOT MIX LONGER THAN 4 HOURS PEOPLE. IF IT DOES THE CALCIUM LEVELS DROP DRAMATICALLY AND I MEAN BIG TIME. HEAT YOUR WATER, ME I GO TO 76 DEGREES THEN I ADD MY SALT AND I MIX FOR 3 HOURS. TURN OFF ALL PUMPS LET SIT FOR ANOTHER HOUR AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CLOUDINESS. NONE. IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW DIRECTIONS THEN YOU SHOULDN'T KEEP A REEF TANK IN THE FIRST PLACE IMO.

Great Salt MixBy Maxwellon 5/19/2014

Maxwell would recommend this product to a friend

I switched to this product from Instant Ocean and don't regret it at all. Only negative I see is that the water is kind of cloudy in my bucket. I mix the water for 2 hours and let it sit for 24 hours until the water change. However, the water in my tank is crystal clear so I guess it clears up. I also have had problems with Instant Ocean clumping up, has not happened since the switch.

Excellent ProductBy Davidon 5/9/2014

Read the directions!! I have see many people complain about how this product clouds up. Here is my 2.5 cents.

1. This is probably the most important step....
Roll the bucket around for 5-10 minutes to redistribute the different size crystals that have settled during storage and shipping.

2. Raise your ro/di water to 68 deg.

3. Add the required amount of salt and let it circulate to mix for 1-2 hours.

4. STOP MIXING, raise the temp to 77

5. Do your water change

Have been doing using this salt mix for my last 6 or 7 water changes. The salt is very consistent and my coral growth and colors have been better since switching to this product. The only negative I have found is upon mixing the salt, the mix can be a bit cloudy if mixed too long. After doing the water change at night, the next morning my tank is perfectly clear again.

This stuff mixes up easy and my numbers are always good! My only complaint is the buckets are extremely weak and I've yet to receive one undamaged from shipping (and they are packaged in a heavy duty cardboard box). Thankfully none of the inner bags have tore open.

Some other brands of salt I've received in perfect condition with nothing more than a shipping label on the bucket.

I have tried other salt varieties, but Red Sea Coral Pro Salt is 2nd to none in my opinion, I've never had issues with clumping that I had with previous brands. The PH remains stable and all of it dissolves which was an issue in the past as well.The only drawback is its expensive to ship, but the way around that if you can afford to buy 3 BRS ships free at $175.00

I had a fellow reefer refer me to this type of salt after I was using Instant Ocean Salt and was unable to maintain my calc and alk levels. After switching to Red Sea Coral Pro, I have not had to dose two part as much as I usually used to do. I would recommend this product to all reefers.

I have been reefing for about 7 years and do not use any other salt! It keeps the parameters perfect, I stopped dosing everything (even B-ionic) once I started using this salt so I won't be looking back. I do 10% water changes every other week and don't have to worry about anything else. Note that I do not keep SPS corals though.

Coral Pro SaltBy Nateon 1/17/2014

Nate would recommend this product to a friend

I have used this salt since the start of my system. I have read that once you find a salt that your tank responds well to stay with it. This salt does just that. I instantly see results from all my corals as soon as I do a water change. With in a few days you can see new growth. so far all the levels are in check. Overall, this is a really good salt. If you are on the fence about this, go ahead and give it a try. It mixes up in a few hours. it says 1.6 pounds per 5 gals. i use a digital scale and convert it to OZ. Which for 5 gal it is 25.6 oz.. Every time I do a 5 gal water change and use that ratio it is spot on at 1.025 S.G. hope this helps.

Mixed clear with Alk 11 and PH 8.3 after about 3 hours. Has a fine consistency kind of like BRS soda ash.
Haven't tested other params but trust their stats.
Like others have said they need to do something about the buckets. It's in a plastic bag inside the bucket but still leaking salt out everywhere upon arrival. Cracked bottom.

I switched over to this salt after using reef crystals for over a year in my nano. My corals after a month started to show vivid amazing colors.

There are a ton of reviews on this salt. And reefers have a ton of opinions of which salt is the best. So it comes down to what is best for you. This salt works for me because it mixes well, it is consistent from batch to batch, and when I test the mixed water I get the ratio of elements I am looking for. I have had better results with Red Sea than Instant Ocean. But I have friends who say the opposite. If your not using Red Sea, give it a shot and see how it works for you. For me the result has been healthier corals. Just don't use the cool looking leftover buckets for water storage....they leak :-)

RSCP salt is awesome! Switched to this after hearing that it was better for coral growth. Got some browned out SPS from someone and after a couple of weeks in the RSCP, all the sticks have color now and great polyp extension. Also made my zoas and palys spread like crazy! Will not use another salt after this!
